So, it turns out that anything you put into your own ExternalSource will never get parsed and therefore (theoretically) never show up. Or am I doing something wrong? The code looks like it will parse only the information in ContactsDataKind and not the EditField node from the following:
<ContactsSource xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android"> <ContactsDataKind android:mimeType="com.example.mimetype" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:summaryColumn="data2" android:detailColumn="data3"> <EditField column="data1" title="@string/sample_string" /> </ContactsDataKind> </ContactsSource> Essentially, I have adding an account and the sync adapter working. But when I try to create a new contact through the contacts app, I can never see any of the fields I added in the XML structure defined by "<meta-data android:name="android.provider.CONTACTS_STRUCTURE" android:resource="@xml/contacts" />". Has anyone figured out an answer to this problem yet? I've seen a few posts, but nothing with a solid answer.
